Thirdly, it gives the techniques involved in scientific procedure and making the work attractive. The techniques of interest include the use of instrumentation and spectroscopic methods to determine the structures of starting materials and compare them with the products, checking the progress of reactions. Use of Thin Layer Chromatography or Gas Chromatography to determine the progress of the reactions and other techniques. References and useful appendices.
